I feel the core idea is that hard work and deliberate practice will move both those with talent and those without forward and fretting over things you cannot change is an exercise in futility, and you're rather focus on things that you can change.
- baobabKoodaa 5y agoI fully you agree with you here. But that's not the core idea in the post you're referring to. The core idea in that post was that beliefs should be chosen based on utility, as opposed to truthfulness. I disagree with that idea, because I think truth has inherent value in and of itself. I want to believe things that are true, even if those beliefs are harmful to me. Furthermore, the poster has very clearly expressed in subsequent posts that they don't believe talent ("innate ability") exists. I strongly disagree with this idea as well, and there is a mountain of evidence to support my position.
